The book reviews the dimension of the youth labor market problem as well as past government strategies designed to resolve them. Comparisons are drawn from the experiences of Western European and Japanese policies with similar objectives. On the basis of this review, the author outlines a new strategy (YOUTHJOBS) for addressing the problem of teenage unemployment. For the reader convinced of the problems, ' the book is a useful comparative description of youth labor market policies at home and abroad. Accessible to upper-division undergraduates.-Choice
This book is a clear concise reminder that a strong job creation in the U.S.A. still leaves many youth unemployed and underemployed and that our society must do more and better in providing occupational training for 16 to 19 year olds for whom school is no real alternative.-Eli Ginzberg, Director, Conservation of Human Resources, Columbia University
